Nutrients

Many
nuts, particularly almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios,
walnuts and pecans, are considered very nutritious.
They contain high levels of mono-and-poly-unsaturated
fats, which are good for cariovascular health, cancer
prevention and weight control. Also, a high level
of protein fiber, vitamin E and calcium in nuts adds
to their healthy properties. The following table summarizes
the healthy components of nuts.
